It's still winter here!

So it snowed today. And snowed...and snowed.... All told we had about 13 inches of the white stuff. As a result, school was called off for the second Wednesday in a row. Last week it was because the wind chill was -30 F and it never got above -15 F (yes those are minus signs). Here are a few pictures of the beautiful white stuff that fell today.



Since I was home with Tina and the boys, we decided to get out of the house by taking a trip to the Co-op for groceries. This was accomplished by bundling them (15 min) packing them into a Burly bike trailer with the jogger attachment (5 min) and walking to the Co-op (15 min) where we shopped (10 min) and returned home (all the above times in reverse). Efficient use of time it was not. Interesting and kind of fun experience? Yes.

I can't say the boys enjoyed it the whole time, but they didn't seem to hate it. Here they are excited to take off.
Oh, and if you were going to ask, no they were not out exposed to the elements like that. The windshield sealed them in pretty well. So well, in fact that they were almost sweaty when we returned home.

Hope you had a warm and safe Wednesday!
